A high-contrast serif with a pronounced rightward slant and a strongly calligraphic stroke model. Thick verticals and hairline joins create crisp, sculpted letterforms, while bracketed wedge serifs and tapered terminals give the outlines a carved, energetic feel. Proportions read generously set with open counters, and the overall rhythm is lively, with noticeable entry/exit strokes and italic-like construction across both capitals and lowercase. Numerals and capitals carry substantial weight and presence, suited to prominent settings.
This font is well suited to headlines, deck text, pull quotes, and other editorial applications where contrast and motion can be appreciated. It also works effectively on book covers, posters, and branding moments that call for a classic serif voice with extra impact.
The tone is classic and editorial, combining refinement with assertive drama. Its sharp contrast and sweeping italic motion suggest sophistication and tradition, while the heavier mass keeps it emphatic and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with heightened contrast and an italic-driven, calligraphic flair. It aims to provide an elegant, authoritative display texture that feels traditional yet visually charged.
Curved letters show pronounced thick–thin modulation and pointed, tapering terminals, producing a crisp sparkle in larger sizes. The slanted forms and strong serifs create a forward-moving texture that favors display and short-form reading over dense, continuous text.
